Thanks for the information
Perspective was something that I learned many years ago in film school and I have always tried to include in my still photography. Thank you for sharing that with others as it is quite impactful! Having said that utilizing different angles is something I seem to not use intentionally. Thank you for giving that to me. As always, a really effective video!
